If you were actually in the renaissance Galaxy, you would not see subforums, threads, and whatever else is associated with an actual guild. Nope!
You would see this:
The main planet is called Planet Hamster.
If you drew 2 maps to make Planet Hamster, on the one you would have the following:
Hamster City in the North, draw a rail line South into South-town, then on the Western side, which is why I always say its eastern but isn't, is the Orochi Lands, and then if you drew a rail line going from that point all the way east, you would get into the Harvest Gardens.
There is also a second rail line for the freight cargo. In the center where the two passenger rail lines cross, there is a building. A single building called Central Station. Why is it there, well, simply put, what if you were going from the Orochi lands, but you wanted to go into Southtown or Hamster City? You would have to change directions, right? Well, Central station allows you to do that. Of course you still have your crossing gates, which there are only 2 for each direction. 2 of them, if you were crossing on foot from South to North or vice versa to prevent people from being hit from the eastbound/westbound trains. 2 of them run the opposite direction for if you were walking from east to west or vice versa to prevent you from being hit by the northbound/southbound trains. The other four are posted at the outskirts of each section for additional safety and they are more like just switches than anything.
This is only half of the planet and this is the part I rule.
The other half, better known as Heneroshi's Island is your typical lawless zone. There is only one access point and that is if you walked through the Orochi Steakhouse (the gateway to the Orochi Lands), out the back way, onto the Yagami wall (like the great wall of China) and kept going until you reached the end of Yagami wall, there is a magically locked doorway.
Only two people of the entire Planet Hamster can open it. Myself and Iori Yagami.
Every October, however, that gate is open for one month only. This is so that the evil ones may attempt at getting forgiveness. If they do not repent and they have brought more chaos upon the planet for three Octobers, they are sent to the neighboring Galaxy and into the Underworld.
The Underworld is a part of Enthera and is overseen by a stronger... demon shall we say for lack of a better word known as Dante the Lord of the Underworld Enthera. He sometimes goes by the name of Ma' Kshi.
Once in the Underworld, you are considered a Mediocre criminal, meaning you are bad, bad, bad, but not so bad that you have to be totally sealed away.
Dante has been known to forgive the occasional Mediocre criminal. Okay, okay, to date there has been one mediocre criminal forgiven. That's Geese Howard.
If Geese would not have been under the influence of Jonathan Bogard, then he would have been in the same place that Jonathan Bogard went.
The Abyss!
The Abyss is also part of Enthera and up until last night, there was no way out whatsoever. And very few actually end up in there. There was Godomous: God of War in there for numerous abusings of his power where no war was needed. There was Nickaly the Feared, which is the second most powerful criminal in the universe. And finally, Jonathan Bogard the worst of them all since he's the first ever to actually escape the abyss.
Now, there is a small chance, very small chance that Godomous might get out providing that he listens to when war should be announced. There is an alert out right now to be cautious when travelling, but as of yet, Jonathan has targeted specific people so war is not an issue yet.
It will all depend if the ones who stopped Nickaly can ultimately stop Jonathan. If they succeed, then there is no war declared, but... if Jon succeeds, then a state of war will be announced for it is then that Nickaly the Feared will be released by Jonathan's power and it will take the strongest of fighters to stop her and Jon both without getting our souls and bodies destroyed.
Nickaly is a true soul reaper make no mistake and she delights in killing for no reason. Her reason is everyone is scum and boring.
I suppose this would be renaissance news as well, but this is basically what is happening in the Real Renaissance Reality.
